What are you listening to?

[owiknowi]

yes, it's also english (gb) slang for something that's made up, nonsense, adjusted to ones convenience, etc. example? well, eh, history! yes, history is often clearly bunk

but what's more important: is grooveshark (thank you john a) something you can use, lisa marie? it just plays music.
however i don't know how big the files are (probably mp3 >=196kbps?)
using it with ff one can downsize the bunk on the web site by installing some add ons (noscript, adblock, ghostery)

the other link, bach, is extracted from a cd and converted to .ogg (similar to mp3 but way better quality/compression ratio). this test file is 3.07 minutes and just about 790kb in size, but mono.

it's just meant to give an impression of what people are listening to and learning to know some new music as well.

if grooveshark doesn't work for you, we'll try something else... off the record, that is.

@lisa marie
since you use a dial in connection, grooveshark probably won't be of much use to you...

owiknowi, if I can download it, I can play it.  I went to the vorbis site to play one of the titles listed there (xiph.org)  Epoq.  Sounded like something played in the pub scene of Star Wars.

Forget about that entertainment industry propaganda.Artis get smalest piece of all money and arguments goes that downloading will harm artist.I think it is oposite.Many of them become popular of gain much popularity by puting they work on You tube or something similar.

[owiknowi]

well, there's the bits 'n bytes too that have to be downloaded... over 56kbps...

just find a way which enables people with a slower internet connection, to also enjoy some of the music suggested here.

Yes, that is true.  Look back at the days of radio and the 45 record.  Artists would go to stations, give the Disc Jockey their vinyl disc and hope they would play it over the air waves.   If we did the same thing to people today, we would tell them, "Ah, you can't listen to that, that is illegal!".  Folks happen to catch the music being aired over invisible air waves and it resulted in the musician(s) getting heard and possibly becoming popular if they were good.. 
Currently listening to the cpu fan on one of my older machines which is quite noisy.

before this becomes a topic on legal issues, here some background on the origin of music and on so called world music.

whilst reading listen to e.g. the seckou keita quartet from senegal, playing on a kora/cora, an instrument related to the european harp.


@lisa
if you can't play this, and provided you want to listen to it, just send me a p.m. or e-mail. or will this do (2.1mb, mono)?

[owiknowi]

just listen to the text, and replace california with your place of living
